Friend Health Cottage Grove Clinic

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic and asked, 'Do you accept deliveries here?' The receptionist replied, 'Only if they're healthy!' The delivery driver grinned sheepishly, ‘Well, I’m not exactly sick today.’ The receptionist smirked and said, ‘Then come back tomorrow!’ The next day, the same driver arrived with a big smile, holding a box of donuts. He winked at her and whispered, ‘Healthy enough for you now?’

2. One day, a little girl visiting her grandmother noticed something odd outside the clinic's window. She pointed excitedly at the doctor, who was adjusting a strange device while humming an old folk song. Curious, she asked what he was doing. With a twinkle in his eye, the doctor replied, 'I'm just calibrating my new music-powered blood pressure monitor.' The next day, everyone in town heard him singing traditional tunes as he checked patients' vitals.

3. One afternoon, a neighbor passing by the clinic remarked to their friend, ‘I keep seeing these strange figures moving around in the shadows behind the building.’ Her friend looked puzzled and replied, ‘Oh, that’s probably just Dr. Friend’s new shadow puppets for patients.’ They both laughed, and as they walked away, the neighbor muttered, ‘Next time I’ll bring my camera—those figures look like they could star in a silent movie!’

4. Have you seen the new sign out front of Friend Health Cottage Grove Clinic? It keeps changing every few hours—first it says ‘Closed for Lunch,’ then later it reads ‘Out of Order.’ No one knows who’s doing it or why. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a package labeled 'Sensitive Items.' He asked the receptionist if anyone had ordered anything unusual recently. She shook her head and said, 'Only that strange sign!' Turns out, someone was delivering signs for a local festival—and now everyone in town thinks Friend Health is hosting an art exhibit!'
